THINPREG™ TP 135 is a breakthrough product combining high strength and high toughness in a thin ply format. The PES-toughened epoxy system shows compression after impact properties typical of 3rd generation aerospace matrices. Thin ply materials achieve higher usable properties from the fiber through spreading load more consistently though the laminate and delaying first ply failure. Negligible ply drop-off effects and greater degrees of freedom in design are now combined with a PES-toughened system for high resolution, highly optimized, super-strong composite structures.

THINPREG™ TP 380CE is a Uni-Directional tape made of Carbon fibers impregnated with a thermoset cyanate ester resin system. ThinPreg™ 380CE uses a high Tg resin well adapted to autoclave molding at 180°C (350°F) with post-curing. The Fiber Areal Weight of ThinPreg™ 380CE ranges from 30g/m2 to 300g/m2 and the standard resin content ranges from 32 to 42% by weight. The North Thin Ply Technology process allows for the adjustment of the fiber / resin ratio upon request.

THINPREG™ TP 415 is a rubber toughened version of TP402, design for sporting goods application, combining high elongation and great toughness. It is available in ultra-Thin Ply format, as low as 15gsm. This hot-melt epoxy prepreg is recommended to be cured at 135°C for optimal performance and a Tg until 145°C Onset (by E’ DMA). This matrix has a very good flow control. TP415 offers excellent mechanical properties on a wide variety of fibers, and fiber weights.

THINPREG™ TP 736LT is an exceptionally versatile hot-melt, epoxy prepreg. It can be cured at temperature as low as 80°C (176°F), or can be used for faster molding of components at 120°C (248°F). This is achieved with a good out-life of up to 60 days at 18-22°C (64-72°C)..

THINPREG™ TP 402 is a resin system suitable for manufacture of unidirectional prepreg material. ThinPreg™ 402 is a versatile system that is used most often with carbon fiber, but can also be impregnated into a wide range of reinforcing fibers including quartz, glass, aramid fiber etc. ThinPreg™ 402 features a high Tg (180°C) capability with additional toughening, and has been designed to be a good all-round product in terms of mechanical strength and processability.

THINPREG™ TP 190 is a system designed for aeronautic structural part, combining high strength and high toughness with a very good thermal stability. The PES-toughened epoxy system shows outstanding compression and fatigue properties.

THINPREG™ TP 150SC is designed for the automotive market due to the snap-cure capability for low TAKT times while achieving good mechanical properties, and the additional benefit of not requiring frozen or refrigerated storage.

THINPREG™ TP 513 is a prepreg resin matrix used for the manufacture of light weight prepreg molding materials. ThinPreg™ 513 is a versatile system that is used most often with carbon fiber, but can also be impregnated into a wide range of reinforcing fibers including quartz, glass, aramid etc.

THINPREG™ GF736 is a toughened epoxy adhesive film, with excellent tack and drape characteristics, supplied on a paper backer either in an unsupported format or with an embedded ultra-lightweight glass carrier to aid handling. GF736 offers many advantages for bonding composite laminates, either to other laminates, or to structural cores, including; consistent bond-line thickness and weight, high strain to failure, high toughness, handling convenience, controlled flow and a 6 week out-life at ambient temperature (18-22ºC/64-72ºF).
